Hrsta (her-shta) is the brainchild of founding Godspeed You! Black Emperor guitarist Mike Moya, who is joined on this third album (the band's second on Constellation) by Brooke Crouser (Jackie-O Motherfucker) on organs, guitars and various effects.

Brooke emerged as the core second member of the band, joining Mike on live dates since 2006, and contributing composition and arrangement on this record.

The ever-faithful rhythm section of bassist Harris Newman and drummer Eric Craven provide additional backbone on select songs.
